The Power of your ONE THING

Let me tell you a little story.

About two weeks ago I had a conversation with a musician, let’s call her Marie. Marie is a gorgeous human being and talented artist. She’s the singer and leader of a band that has been around for quite a while; they have a unique selling point, get paid gigs, have a small but loyal fan base, make some money.. The problem is that they start and stop and never really get their band off the ground.

So I asked her a question.

“Marie” I said “Regarding your band, are you in or are you out? The choice is yours, but it has to be made.”

There was a pause. She couldn’t say.

Choose your ‘one thing’ and go all in.

I notice this too often. Artists and entrepreneurs get out before they’re really in.

They think they failed, but they never even really tried. They are holding back, hesitating, trying too many things at once, end end up doing nothing really.They never fully decide on the one thing that they want to focus on, the one thing that they want to go all in for.

Back to Marie. Just now I got a phone call, and it was her.

She sounded happy and excited and proudly told me about the things she’d been up to since our chat. It was A LOT. She had finally made her decision and has really gotten started: got her team together and incorporated the band, planned a website, played a gig, and so much more.

And for the best part: as soon as she made the decision everything shifted – help and support appeared all around her.
